John Atkins of Palmyra didn't attend the Chesapeake Jubilee when he lived here 11 years ago. Now it's his favorite place to go.For the second year in a row, Atkins' barbecue team, Pigs on the Run, won the grand championship at the Kansas City Barbecue Society-sanctioned barbecue cookoff last weekend at the Chesapeake Jubilee."I've been here more since I left the area," Atkins laughed. "This is one of the best-run contests. The people here are unbelievable. "As grand champions, Pigs on the Run placed first in pork, third in both chicken and brisket, and fifth in ribs. Last year, Atkins was first in chicken, second in ribs, and third in both brisket and pork. The reserve grand champion was Smokey Bottom Boys from Bel Air, Md., with JT and the BBQ 3 of Salisbury, Md., placing third. Twenty-six teams competed, including five teams from Chesapeake.The victory earned Atkins and his crew the Virginia state title and an invitation to the American Royal barbecue competition in October.The victory was bittersweet for the Palmyra team. Justin Harris, the 11-year-old son of chicken expert Mark Harris, died from bone cancer two weeks before the cookoff."That was a big blow to the team. Compared to last year, it was hard to get really excited about the win," Atkins said. "But for the past 24 hours, Mark hasn't had to think about Justin every minute."A portion of the almost $4,000 in prize money Pigs on the Run earned will be donated to St. Jude's Children's Hospital for cancer research .Although Atkins claimed "we didn't do so hot" in the American Royal last year in Kansas City, they rebounded the next day to place fifth in pork among 500 teams in the open competition.Atkins got started in competitive barbecuing after standing in line for 30 minutes to buy a $4 barbecue sandwich at a fair similar to the Jubilee."I told my wife I could do better, and she said either put up, or shut up," Atkins recalled. "I can't shut up, so I had to put up."Just don't ask him what type of barbecue he cooks. Atkins can do it all, from the vinegar-based North Carolina-style (his favorite), to the sweet and tangy flavors of Memphis, the dry-rubbed spices of Kansas City and the beef barbecue favored by Texans.After a long day of cooking barbecue, though, Atkins treats himself to a different kind of meal."I like to fix a peanut butter sandwich with strawberry jam and have a glass of skim milk," he said.
